Unsure about having a baby

...See more I've always had the thought that I didn't want my own kids but rather adopt. Especially since adulthood. It never moved or interested me, but thinking about fostering or adopting always felt right. Now I've turned 30 and find myself thinking A LOT about life, the future, etc. In the last 2 years I've always been thinking about not ever having kids at all, not adopt either. But now I'm reconsidered everything and have no clue. I don't really know what are my own feelings and what is pressure from society... Some of this is also coming from the fact that my life is not very stable now. Everything's good but I'm living abroad, working a job just to finance that, but not a career, no pension, savings, etc. I am in a good relationship with my boyfriend of 10 years. As of now we have not discussed it properly. I tend to sit in my feelings a bit before discussing with others and right now I'd like to first hear from this community and also talk to friends, mothers and not alike, and then talk to him about it later. I guess what I'm asking the community here now is if anyone was also really unsure if they wanted kids and what they ended up doing. I know no one is ever properly ready and everyone's nervous etc, but I need to hear from someone who maybe went from saying no kids, to then having kids. Or how quick the process was of making the decision to have kids. Thank you🧡🧡
